What is an indicator?
• Helps ensure that important issues get managed
• Describes the perceived state of the issue (e.g. environment); is a proxy
• Provides guidance to policy makers related to specific outcomes
• Tracks progress made towards policy objectives (the desired state)
• Multi-stakeholder development process

The S-M-A-R-T approach
• Chosen indicators and targets must be Specific-Measurable-Assignable-Realistic-Time-related:
• A Specific area for improvement is targeted
• There is a Measurable quantification of the indicator
• The responsibility for collecting data for each indicator is Assigned
• There is Realistic expectation that results can be achieved with available resources
• The Time-related commitments to achieve data collection are reasonable

impacts
1 Acid mine drainage Higher presence of toxins in water
Water may be unsafe for human
consumption if it exceeds limits
specified in applicable standards
2 Poor occupational health and safetyIncreased prevalence of occupational
diseases
Reduced ability to generate
income and afford or self-
produce goods
3 Emissions to air Decreased air quality and acid rain
Decline in agricultural
productivity and a deterioration
in terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystem can lead to decreased
availability of food and water
4 Employment Reduced unemployment rateAbility to afford goods is
improved
